"I’m so lucky to love what I do; live where I live and to interact with the talented people around me. The West Kootenays is an incredible place to be. Every year it just gets better." – Tracey Harvey, Geographic Information Systems instructor

I came to Selkirk College because I wanted to live in the gorgeous West Kootenays and live a mountain-town lifestyle with my young growing family. I also wanted to utilize much of my previous experience and training in one position and fulfill my own desires to assist people in achieving whatever it is they want.

I bring over 12 years of vast and varied GIS industry experience to the classroom. My primary goals are to engage learners and to prepare GIS students for their futures; whether it involves continuing education, GIS professional work, or using GIS as a complementary technology within another discipline.

I love my job.

Before coming to Selkirk College, I am fortunate to have worked for large corporations, small consulting companies, provincial and municipal governments. I've developed a diverse background and strong GIS industry knowledge. Staying connected allows me to keep up to date with the ever evolving GIS technology, where "change is the only constant."

I infuse Professional Executive Coaching skills in hopes of creating a genuinely supported learning environment tailored to each unique student.

I’m a wanna-be athlete, love to be outdoors, volunteer on our local community Recreation Committee and can’t stop myself from getting involved in things that are important to me.

Sometimes, I can be found blogging about studying GIS at Selkirk College.
